Version Support Status

This page describes the support status of the significant versions of AngularJS.

AngularJS is planning one more significant release, version 1.7, and on July 1, 2018 it will enter a 3 year Long Term Support period.

Any version branch not shown in the following table (e.g. 1.5.x) is no longer being developed.

Version	Status	Comments

1.6.x	Patch Releases	Minor features, bug fixes, security patches - no breaking changes
1.7.x	Active Development	1.7.0 (not yet released) will be the last release of AngularJS to contain breaking changes

Any version branch not shown in the following table (e.g. 1.6.x) is no longer being developed.

Version	Status	Comments
1.2.x	Long Term Support	Last version to provide IE 8 support
1.7.x	Long Term Support	See Long Term Support section below.

On July 1st 2018, we will enter a Long Term Support period for AngularJS.

At this time we will focus exclusively on providing fixes to bugs that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

A security flaw is detected in the 1.7.x branch of the framework
One of the major browsers releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working
The jQuery library releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working.

You can read more about these plans in our blog post announcement.
